The proposal will be designed to thermally treat up to 500,000 tonnes per year of residual Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and residual Commercial and Industrial (C&I) waste streams that would otherwise be sent to landfill. This process would generate up to 58 megawatts (MW) of base load electricity some of which would be used to power the facility itself with the remaining 55MW exported to the grid. The proposal involves the building of all onsite infrastructure needed to support the facility including site utilities, internal roads, weighbridges, parking and hardstand areas, storm water infrastructure, fencing and landscaping. The proposal site is located at 339 Wallgrove Road in Eastern Creek, NSW (Lot 1 DP 1059698) which is in the Blacktown local government area (LGA). The site is in the Wallgrove Precinct of the Western Sydney Parklands (WSP) Plan of Management. The 8.23ha site is divided by a small strip of land not part of the proposal site, resulting in a 2.04ha northern section and a 6.19ha southern section. This dividing strip is part of the adjacent lot and includes a right of carriageway benefitting the proposal site allowing vehicles to move between the two parts of the site. The proposal area will be fully contained in the 6.19ha portion of the site. Works to occur on the 2.04 ha northern section of the site include the clearing of weeds and exotic vegetation within the existing overland flow channel which is confined to the eastern section of this parcel of land. The northern section will also be used temporarily to support construction works. No other works will occur on the 2.04 ha northern section of the site as part of this proposal. Cleanaway and Macquarie Capital are seeking State Significant Development (SSD) approval for the proposal as electricity generating works with a capital investment value (CIV) greater than $30 million for the purposes of Schedule 1 of the State Environmental Planning Policy (State and Regional Development) 2011 (SRD SEPP). Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) were issued by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) on 12 December 2019 for the WSERRC (SSD 10395). Cleanaway and Macquarie Capital are currently undertaking detailed planning and assessment for the proposal, including the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). An Aboriginal heritage assessment is required as part of the EIS. Arup, on behalf of Cleanaway and Macquarie Capital engaged Kelleher Nightingale Consulting Pty Ltd (KNC) to prepare an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Report (CHAR) to inform the EIS. Review of background information, Aboriginal community consultation, and archaeological assessment determined that no Aboriginal archaeological sites will be impacted by the proposed development of the WSERRC. Aboriginal community consultation for the proposal has determined that the general area exhibits some Aboriginal cultural value; however, no specific sites of significance were found to be located within the proposal site boundary. The proposal site exhibits very low sensitivity for Aboriginal archaeological sites and high levels of previous disturbance. The archaeological potential of the proposal site is assessed as very low. This CHAR addresses the Aboriginal heritage requirements identified in the project SEARs and is in accordance with the Heritage NSW Code of Practice for Archaeological Investigation of Aboriginal Objects in NSW, Guide to investigation, assessing and reporting on Aboriginal Cultural Heritage in NSW and Aboriginal cultural heritage consultation requirements for proponents 2010. ii Western Sydney Energy and Resource Recovery Centre: Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Report August 2020 Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ..............................................................................................................................

  • Possible Outline of Research Design
    13 2.0 Historical Background 2.1 Development of Sydney7 From its establishment in 1788 Sydney developed rapidly into a dominant, large and urbanised city. This was not the original intention of its founders who expected New South Wales to take its place within a network of trading centres, channelling raw materials and acting as an administrative centre. Therefore, the colony was not supposed to manufacture goods and, to the ruling classes, was a difficult entity to explain. In Britain urbanisation was the product of industrialisation.8 Sydney 1788 - 1830 Aboriginal people had been living in the Port Jackson estuary and wider area for tens of thousands of years, although they left little evidence of their occupation on the landscape. Following British settlement at Port Jackson in 1788 the landscape changed rapidly, in a short period of time. The colony embarked on an extensive land clearance program with the aim of cultivation. This proved unsuccessful and eventually the main food production took place further west, on the Nepean and Hawkesbury Rivers. Poor land cultivation practises promoted incredibly high erosion, resulting in increased sedimentation in the Port Jackson estuary and surrounding watercourses.9 Within a week of landing the Governor’s house had been constructed, tents had been erected and some small huts compiled from bush materials. A hospital and storehouses were constructed within the first five months. By 1790 more substantial store buildings were being constructed, as increasing amount of produce came from the river regions, and goods were imported. Also around this time allotments started to be fenced and rough streets and lanes laid out.
